  1. Short answer is I think guys are running full tilt, and don’t want to slow down or try to figure out their stride, so they just smash full bore so they know they won’t miss the base. and yes missing first base is a thing see Granite, Zack
  2. Good for Thielbar against these replacement Yankees, and having a good season, but he’s another guy I have trouble trusting against the normal Yankees lineup of righties. If there was a playoff series against them, I think you would have to leave him off the playoff roster for that series. Not to get ahead of myself at all…
  3. Leaves for a minute after Judge is retired, then a home run to the next guy. Are you fffing kidding me.
  4. Of course this is also a minor league lineup, favoring leaving him in as long as he can go.
  5. I am only following on Gameday so will let the rest of you judge, but walking a guy with a .178 OPS — OPS — is maybe a sign Varland is tiring?
  6. Advance them as far as they can possibly go. Promote them, even.
  7. Your playing 2-D chess. 7-D chess is putting a runner on base to get Judge leading off the next inning
  8. Tired: Varland makes his debut in Yankees Stadium Wired: Cy Young award incentives in the long-term Varland extension?
  9. Ok so no such thing exists, but on July 7 of that season (I got the season right!) the Twins lost a game 12-7 while taking a 7-0 lead into the bottom of the seventh, and the next day lost 13-4.
  10. I feel like the Twins played a doubleheader in the Bronx in ‘87 and also got swept, and that one of the games they jumped out to a 7-1 lead but still lost. also, my memory is not to be trusted much lately
  11. I though I read somewhere once that double headers were 70-75 percent likely to end in splits? which defies probability, yes, so something else at work?
  12. Great setup, @UpstateNewYorker !! We are counting on you to bring home the 1-1 split today (asking for a sweep is asking for trouble from the baseball gods)
  13. Miranda still has options.. Oh this is a serious poll…? I vote for Megill, then. I said in the offseason that the only two arms I trust to pitch in Yankee Stadium were Jhoan Duran and Taylor Rogers, and that maybe we should use start using old fashioned metrics again when building our pitching staff? Since Megill was the most recent to fail Megill can be shown the door. Someone else will pick him up and players know it’s a business yada yada
  14. Any idea where the people who didn’t voice an opinion on the Mahle trade came down on it? One good thing I might say for the front office is if they had to do the 2019 deadline over again, they might be more willing to trade Kirilloff and Larnach for Syndergaard. Mahle for two good hitting prospects and a pitcher seems equivalent to me to Syndergaard and two very good hitting prospects.
